These Chicken Taco Roll-ups are a quick and delicious appetizer or snack perfect for parties and gatherings. Made with shredded chicken, creamy cheese, salsa, and flavorful taco seasoning, these pinwheels come together in just 10 minutes and are served chilled for a refreshing bite.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients

Filling

  • 3 cups shredded chicken
  • 8 ounces fat free cream cheese (1 package)
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • ⅓ cup salsa
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • ½ avocado, diced
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Tortillas

  • 4 flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Mix the Filling Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, fat free cream cheese, shredded Mexican cheese blend, salsa, and chopped green onions. Use a hand mixer to blend everything together until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
  2. Add Seasonings and Avocado: Add the diced avocado, taco seasoning, garlic, garlic salt, salt, and pepper to the mixture. Mix again at a slow speed to incorporate all ingredients evenly without mashing the avocado too much.
  3. Spread on Tortillas: Lay out each flour tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a thin and even layer of the chicken mixture over each tortilla, making sure to cover the entire surface.
  4. Roll and Slice: Roll up each tortilla tightly into a pinwheel shape. Use a sharp knife to cut the rolled tortillas into 1-inch bite-sized pieces.
  5. Chill and Serve: Place the roll-ups in the refrigerator and chill until ready to serve. Chilling helps them hold their shape and enhances the flavors.

Notes

  • You can substitute the flour tortillas with whole wheat or low-carb tortillas for a healthier option.
  • For added spice, consider mixing in some chopped jalapeños or hot sauce.
  • These roll-ups can be made a few hours ahead, making them perfect for meal prep or entertaining.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • If you don’t have a hand mixer, you can mix the ingredients thoroughly with a spoon or spatula.
